A VITAL motorway bridge has been shut in both directions due to strong winds and severe flooding.
The M48 Severn Bridge, which connects England to Wales and is used by 80,000 Brits every day, has closed, forcing drivers onto a diversion route.
Motorists are being redirected onto the second Severn crossing, known as the M4 Prince of Wales Bridge, although this has led to congestion building up.
An account for the two Severn crossings posted on X: “The M48 Severn Bridge in South Gloucestershire is CLOSED in both directions between J1 (Aust) and J2 (Chepstow) due to strong winds.
“Traffic is being diverted via the M4 Prince of Wales Bridge.
“Please plan ahead if travelling in the area this morning.“
